  • Kent/Devon/Cornwall jobs or businesses?

    Posted by George Neagu on November 28, 2016 at 12:58 pm

    Hi all,
    I live and work in London, plenty jobs, plenty work.
    But me and my family (wife and 3yr son) are thinking to move somewhere nicer like Kent/Devon or Cornwall.

    I was just wondering if any of you can advise whether these areas can offer me a job or I can find any work should I decide to start my own business?
    Do you know if there are many sign/print companies in these areas?

    I know this question is a bit off board but is still related to signs and prints. 🙂

    Many thanks,
    George

    Are you running your own business or do you work for somebody, George?

    Hi Simon,
    I currently work for a company here in London so I am concerned if there a many companies over there that can provide me a job?
    However, I am ready at any point to start myself one, I have all I need to start but I also wonder if there is work to be done?

    Some people say Cornwall for example can be pretty grim during the winter so I guess not much work to be done?

    Thank you

    You forgot Dorset in the list! :tongue:

    Just a point – West Country / Devon / Cornwall areas, is you will notice a huge wage difference to London.
    But everything else is waaaaaay better! Far more relaxed, and defo’ not grim in the winter!

    Oh, sure I forgot Dorset. 🙂
    I am aware of the wage difference but I can manage that, I have already a plan B that can cover that difference but I still need a job, that’s the thing.
    That’s what I want, something more relaxed. London is too mad, hours and hours lost in traffic or public transport, queue at bus stop, queue at tube station, queue at post office, queue at local supermarket etc. Oh, dear!

    "escape to the country", /theUKSignboardsEdition

    there’s always enough work once you get your name around, no matter what industry you’re in.

    As long as you can budget to survive while you build up the business then there is no reason not to IMO, the countryside is sooo much nicer than grubby old london
